Chris I give you a big pat on the back for being on the ball with this stuff

I think and hope the Hyperfest weekends exceed your expectations and will be a great show for thousands

Morgan - who will be racing the Lowes Hyperfest

 

Also as an FYI. BeaveRun HyperFest will be a combined MWHC/ECHC weekend. We will run one race, with only one winner in each class, but points will be counted separately by each region.

We are still getting in sponsors that are giving prizes but the cash will be divided evenly amoungst the HC classes that show up. Also there must be at least two in your class that start the race for that class to be eligible for the prizes. Points will be awarded no matter what. We have everything from t-shirts to models to gift certs for hard parts and half off NASA-Va race entries. Still haven't divided all up yet. (One of the many details). I should hear back from 76 fuels on monday. Each registered racer will probably get 10 gal of Cool Blue 100 for free (deal should be done monday. Will let you know when it is confirmed). The Cool Blue 100 is about 4.50 per gal.

Peace,

Not a good idea! I've had problems with this before... we need actual tickets or passes to give our crew... otherwise our REAL crew will be paying to get in, due to imposters.

 

Why do you need a kre3w? To clean your kar between sessions?

 

bling bling

It's the WHOO WHOOOOO!!

Please keep in mind that the gates don't open to spectators until 8:00am. If you are racing your real crew should probably be there by then. The problem is that with today's technology tickets can be easily duplicated. Even pro football teams have counterfeit issues and they spend much more on ticket production than we have the ability to do. Plus if someone loses a ticket there is a hold up at the gate that we cannot afford. Most road racing facilities are not conducive to large events. There is no really good solution. BELIEVE me we have looked at many. This will be the simplest and generally the simplest is the best.

Then why not let us at least submit our 3 crew members names ahead of time, so there will be a list at the gate? And if a racer chooses not to submit his list of names then the first 3 that use his name can get in. Easy enough?

Please keep in mind 2 things - your crew COULD pay the entrance fee and then get reimbursed later during the day. Many tracks do that and are somewhat inflexible. If you are interested in doing that, then maybe a few extra crew members coudl volunteer their time to give out the reimbursements....


OR you can volunteer some people to help out at the entry gates to help check off the names of the crew. IF you haven't had the opportunity to be in that nightmare, I highly recommend avoiding at ALL costs that option.

 

It should be easier to check off names than to write them down.

That's fine with me if you are willing to manage the list. Meaning that once a driver registers they send there crew names to Robert. Robert will manage any substitutions and the final list will need to be provided to me by Monday May, 12. I will add the names to the list and we will be cool. Would you be willing to volunteer to do that to help out your fellow racers?

Peace,
Chris

 

Sure, No Prob. Racers can send me their name and their 3 crew member names. I will copy and paste them into a list, and send that list to you before the event.
If the racer's name isn't on the list, just add it at the gate, and let the first 3 people that mention that name be their crew.
